The rule should take into account the fact that lies by public (and former public) figures have an outsized effect on the public discourse that can be extraordinarily dangerous. Ordinary citizen posters are not considered to be trusted sources of information. Thus, such claims, assertions, or other material posted by them will be mercilessly fact-checked before reaching the "mainstream". While the words of a President or former President will receive much less if any, consideration or fact-checking before being broadcast to a wide swath of the public by trusted sources of media attention.
A collection of articles defining our times. The pages contain clickable links, don't let the titles fool you, some of the best articles have very non-descript titles and there are usually more articles on the matters in the days and week pages the links land on so it's a sort of treasure hunt through history, Enjoy!
